Re: Hans L Madsen dogtag

It seems quite possible this Hans Madsen is first-generation Danish-American, grandson of Hans and Karen Madsen, son of either Jens, Niels or Carl - betting on Jens - nephew of Berthe, Marie, and Martin (my grandfather).The family emigrated to Wisconsin from Denmark 1870, scattered, it seems from there.There was a Jens in Texas, probably the same, and thus the possibility of young Hans in the military there.
